first time poster here - hello everyone I started out with CentOS x86 5.3 with the following partitions on my source hard drive: /dev/hdc1 swap /dev/hdc2 / I did the following to migrate my CentOS box to the destination hard drive: 1. boot up with CentOS 5.3 livecd in rescue mode 2. partition destination hard drive (/dev/hdd) /dev/hdd1 swap /dev/hdd2 / 3. create the

Hi. I'm using e2fsprogs 1.23 on a Roswell system with a patched 2.4.7 kernel (using patch ext3-2.4-0.9.5-247) and am trying to create an ext3 filesystem whose journal is located on another device. The incantation I'm trying is: mke2fs -j -J device=/dev/hdc2 /dev/hdc3 I keep getting an error along the lines of "mke2fs: Journal superblock not found". I've tried creating

Hi all, One of our Dell servers has failed badly, and one of the domU's has been corrupted in the process. It boots up to a point and then gives me a kernel panic: Loading dm-zero.ko module Loading dm-snapshot.ko module Scanning and configuring dmraid supported devices Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... No volume groups found Activating

Hi! Whew, I have googled around a lot w/this but can't quite seem to come up w/the right answer. This system works beautifully w/nothing wrong w/it. But my goal is to be able to test the raid system by just unplugging hda to mimic a faulty drive and have it just carry on and boot from hdc. md0 = hda1/hdc1 /boot (primary boot partitions on both drives) md1 = hda2/hdc2 / is it possible to

I have a degraded raid array (originally raid-10, now only two drives) that contains an LVM volume. I can see in the appended text that the Xen domains are there but I don't see how to mount them. No doubt this is just ignorance on my part but I wonder if anyone would care to direct me? I want to be able to retrieve dom-0 and one of the dom-Us to do data recovery, the others are of

Hi, I am trying to recover data from my old system which had LVM. The disk had two partitions - /dev/sda1 (boot, Linux) and /dev/sda2 (Linux LVM). I had taken a backup of both partitions using dd. Now I am booting of CentOS live cd for system restore. I recreated partitions like previous system using fdisk and then used dd to dump all the data onto it. I would like to mount sda2 as LVM, but I

Hi all I want to shrink one of my LVM based domU''s, but don''t quite know how to do it. I have searched the Wiki & HOWTO''s, and they all show you how expand / enlarge a LVM based domU, but not shrinking it. So, I stopped (destroyed) the domU, and then resized it as follows: lvresize /dev/data/cpanel1 -L10GB (It was 100GB), but when I a started it up again, I

Hi I have a Raid 1 centos 4.4 setup and now have this /proc/mdstat output: [root at server admin]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md2 : active raid1 hdc2[1] hda2[0] 1052160 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 hda3[0] 77023552 blocks [2/1] [U_] md0 : active raid1 hdc1[1] hda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/2] [UU] What happens with md1 ?

Hi all I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This is on LVM, btw.

Does anybody here have any idea how to make an exact copy of a drive that has LVM partitions? I'm having trouble using dd to do this for an EL5 server. We're trying to diagnose a software problem of some kind and would like an exact, perfect copy of the software running so that we can see exactly what the problem is without disturbing our production copy. It's been admin practice

Hi all- I''m hoping someone can help me with this problem with Xen under CentOS 5.1 (RHEL 5.1) I''m having... This is the Xen package that comes stock with the distribution, I didn''t compile it from source. I can boot Domain0 and the hypervisor just fine. I''m trying to bring up a Xen guest VM and it crashes on boot, with this error: # xm create -c tcga1
